Dreams, as New Order once wrote, never end. The problem is, you really need to be awake to deal with some of them.
Bird & Beast, the duo of Malin Mared and Kim Gravander, have conjoured up a sizzling, tense track to put the fear into you. “Nightmare” was originally released in 2023, but it comes on vinyl now, courtesy of the åtåmåtån label.
Recorded at the duo’s studio, deep in the forest outside of Gothenburg, it tears at your soul with jagged fingernails.
